As alumni of the institution, there are a number of exclusive benefits that you are automatically entitled to, from the moment you graduate.
To take advantage of these great benefits, please register with us here.

University Email

If you graduated after 2006, your student email address should still be active and you will be able to continue to use it. You may need to change your password .

Unfortunately if you did not have access to an email address during your time here at the University, you will not be eligible for this benefit.

This is a free email service that continues your connection to the University of Chester when you leave. It is intended to be used for more formal emails such as applying for a job, and for registering with our LinkedIn network; however it can just as easily be used as your main email address.

£1000 off the cost of a Postgraduate taught Masters Programme (full or part-time)

We are always happy to see our Bachelor and PGCE graduates return to take on the challenge of a higher level qualification and currently offer our graduates a £1,000 graduate loyalty discount off full-priced postgraduate taught Master's programmes.*

Contact Postgraduate Taught Admissions on 01244 512456 or email postgrad@chester.ac.uk for more information.

Alumni are welcome to use our library collections for reference. You will need to sign in at the Helpdesk on arrival. On campus, this includes reference access to book and journal collections, use of photocopiers and study facilities. The University provides access to the internet; those electronic information resources we subscribe to which allow walk-in access for visitors; access to standard desktop software and printing facilities.

Please note: access to the University network and to electronic information sources which require registration are not included in this agreement.

External Borrowing Scheme

Alumni members can also apply to join the External Borrower’s scheme. For Graduates of the University of Chester, a reduced annual (bronze) fee of £35 (including VAT) is payable (£12.50 for the first year following graduation). This entitles external members to borrow a maximum of four items from the main collections for up to three weeks. Normal library regulations, including fines for the late return of books, will apply.

The main collections are the academic stock, children’s books and school resources material. Journals are not available for loan to any borrower. External Borrowing Rights do not include additional or specialist services such as inter-library loan, access to the University network or loan of audio visual equipment. Access to some electronic resources is possible where our licences permit – please double check this with the staff from the Helpdesk.

Further information on the External Borrowing Scheme is available from the Helpdesk, on 01244 511234 or lis.helpdesk@chester.ac.uk.
